Zig Ziglar once said, “Lack of direction, not lack of time is the problem. We all get the same 24 hours in a day.”
.
.
I am busy, I have two full time jobs, I am married, It’s the holiday season, I have 7 furbabies, I run my own business, and I have all the usual craziness that comes up in every day life but I still find the time to ensure the promise I made to myself to be fit, to be healthy, to be happy, never ever gets broken!
.
.
I make sure I have lists, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly goals that I track. I make sure I am constantly surrounding myself with the right people. I make sure I am gaining wisdom each day by reading, listening, watching, or communicating with those I admire and look up to. I make sure each second, minute, hour in those 24 count!
.
.
The tools I have learned over the years to create direction in my life, I teach to my team – my fit family and my coaching team. Surround yourself with the right people and lack of direction never becomes a problem! 👊👍❤️

Happy “You Can Do It Too” Saturday Everyone!!!
.
.
I was in the worst shape of my life and I was about to turn 40. Of course I felt like crap, slept like crap, had the energy of a snail, but I was also told some things from my doctor that a 39 year old should never hear - things like I have a fatty liver, I am borderline diabetic, my cholesterol is through the roof and I am on my way to a heart attack, basically I was going to die if I didn't change.
.
.
I share this with you because I did not change by going to the gym, hiring a professional trainer, or doing some crazy fad diet like eating cabbage soup for weeks, eating high fat, eating low fat, eating high carbs, eating low carbs, restricting everything… no, no, no! .
.
I did it 100% with quick workouts 30-60 minutes a day! I did it 100% with nutrition plans that are designed to become permanent lifestyle changes. I did it 100% with using my Superfood Shake every single day.
.
.
But mostly I did it by being part of the support groups our team offers (and now as a coach I run my own). I did it by surrounding myself with those of like mind, like goals, and like aspirations. I did NOT do it alone!

"If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice." - Meister Eckhart "He who thanks but with the lips
Thanks but in part;
The full, the true Thanksgiving
Comes from the heart." - J.A. Shedd "For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!" - Ralph Waldo Emerson "Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow." - Edward Sandford Martin "We can always find something to be thankful for, no matter what may be the burden of our wants, or the special subject of our petitions." - Albert Barnes "You say, 'If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.' You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled." - Charles Haddon Spurgeon "Gratitude is not a spiritual or moral dessert which we may take or push away according to the whims of the moment, and in either case without material consequences. Gratitude is the very bread and meat of spiritual and moral health, individually and collectively. What was the seed of disintegration that corrupted the heart of the ancient world beyond the point of divine remedy...? What was it but ingratitude?" -Noel Smith
Wishing you and all your loved ones a very happy and safe Thanksgiving!

"Do you know...what the mystery of happiness is?
.
.
Happiness can't be found when you seek it out for yourself. But when you give it unconditionally to others that is when you will find it. The value of a smile is priceless, yet it is the cheapest, easiest, most rewarding and most sincere gift to anyone that crosses your path. A smile makes a person's day, anybody's day even a stranger's day. A smile is nature's best antidote for discouragement. It brings rest to the weary, sunshine to those who are sad, and hope to those who are hopeless and defeated. A smile is so valuable that it can't be bought, begged, borrowed, or taken away against your will.
.
.
You have to be willing to give a smile away before it can do anyone else any good. So if someone is too tired or grumpy to flash you a smile, let him have one of yours anyway. Nobody needs a smile as much as the person who has none to give. A smile is infectious. Start infecting people with your smile today." #smile .

“I have watched the scales drop, my clothes fit better, my energy level increase and most of all I am healthier, and as a result of all this, I have seen a few of my family members start their own journey’s to become healthier because of the changes I have made. Have I arrived… HECK NO! This old barn still needs a lot of work and tomorrow I will be sore in another spot, but that is fine with me.” – Kevin.
.
So proud of you Kevin, you have taken what I like to call the “3 D’s of Success” to level where they needed to be – Desire, Determination, and Discipline! And you motivate and inspire myself and everyone else in our group to keep digging deep each day and continue that pursuit towards our goals! Thank you!!!
.
.
My groups are always open to anyone and everyone so if you are looking for that support structure that has been absent on your journey, look no further. Shoot me a DM and lets get you plugged in! 👊💪👍😃
